WHA33.3 Declaration of global eradication of smallpox

The Thirty-Third World Health Assembly, on this the eighth day of May 1980;

Having considered the development and results of the global programme on smallpox eradication initiated by WHO in 1958 and intensified since 1967;

Declares most solemnly that the world and all its peoples have won freedom from smallpox, which was a most devastating disease sweeping in epidemic form through many countries since earliest times, leaving death, blindness and disfigurement in its wake, and which only a decade ago was rampant in Africa, Asia and South America;

Expresses its deep gratitude to all nations and individuals who contributed to the success of this noble and historic endeavour;

Calls this unprecedented achievement in the history of public health to the attention of all nations, which by their collective action have freed mankind of this ancient scourge and, in so doing, have demonstrated how nations working together in a common cause may further human progress.

(We celebrate in December because the Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication published their report on December 9th 1979.)

#PLEASE READ DR DONALD HENDERSON’S BOOK #he is the pioneer of the eradication #he led and pushed SO hard for this #no one at WHO believed it could be done #the trials he and all his team of drs and volunteers went through!!!#he gave everyone involved the honor of the bifurcated needle #or something like that and it makes me so emo #their names will not be in the history books but every single person who went village to village to village and inoculated #they’re all heroes #the eradication of the smallpox virus— Henderson deserved a Nobel prize for that

Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

raccoonmilf

For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.

So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.

We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon

raccoonmilf

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

Those vibes are likely because I’m the original creator of Dashcon and my personality has not changed since 2012 lmao

Romance Options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Older woman who will not tell you her past. Shows open disdain for almost everything you do and say. Shares a bed with another man - the only one who calls her by a nickname. When said man tells you her traumatic backstory on the eve of your near-certain demise she grants you a courtesy fuck.

Educated young lady who you meet 2-3 times in a crisis situation. If you agree to not let her father rot in prison she grants you a courtesy fuck before making it clear you have no future.

Servant girl who grants you a shag in a meadow, possibly to distract you from your espionage. You hold her one night to prevent her nightmares. She dies the next day.

Widow who wink winks-nudge nudges you into a shag at a feast when you regale her with a tale of your bravery.

Knight who you possibly sparred with a few times. You have an implied night of passion after a subtle exchange. Next morning you discover he's working for the enemy and you can likely never see him again.

Prostitutes.

Your lord. Your master. Your raison d'ětre. The man who you swore to protect on pain of death. Your best friend, the "only person you have left." The one who has saved your life almost as many times as you've saved his. The one who saw you at your lowest, then saw you crawl up from the bottom of an impenetrable social hierarchy to become a fearsome knight who crosses blades and wits with the most powerful men in your land. He calls you his guardian angel, his champion, his brave and faithful companion, the Lancelot to his Galehaut. He will kill himself if you die because life will have no meaning to him. He mirrors you along every step of your hero's journey until he breaks down into confession on the eve your near-certain demise, defying class conventions, social stigma, his unwanted betrothal, and fear of damnation to hold you at least once before it's too late.

i dont think i will ever be over dragon age 2. like. bioware made an epic fantasy story about a chosen one having to save a country and stop the apocalypse and then they made the second installment of the series be about the sociopolitical climate in ONE city through the lens of a family of refugees fleeing from the war of the first game and just. made it about political tensions and class dynamics and the influences of living in a church-mandated state and the growing tension over an occupied piece of the city and political killings and interpersonal conflict and power and its story is ENTIRELY character-driven. it has easily the most iconic set of companion characters. the premise of living through a story told over the course of ten years and knowing from the start that something really bad will happen in the end was so fresh and exciting. the fact that the acts really built on top of each other andhow much the city changed over time. and the game was so mature in terms of the topic of fighting against oppression in so many ways (im usually generous and say that the short development time left some things a bit wanting), and as much as some people say that the game treats mages and templars as being equally bad, i don't think that that is actually true about the game and it very earnestly tries to grapple with some pretty complex political dynamics.

and then the game completely flopped financially and was almost universally hated for its queer themes and its "sympathy for terrorism" and a lot of the things that stemmed from basically having no production time at all and then the studio just made another epic fantasy story about a chosen one that has to save the world from the apocalypse

#da #let’s not forget that the third game totally flattens so many questions in da2 #the class discussion in dai is horrrrrrribme

my knight you have to live you have to get up you have to put your hand over your wound and hold it there. you have to keep walking and walking and walking because you cannot lay down yet, it’s not time. wipe the blood off your breastplate and look up into the sun. lean on your sword if you need to. lift one foot after another. get up. get up. this would be a pitiful grave.
